Façade washing with a pressure washer

Rent a pressure washer for cleaning select façade sections — learn which façades are suitable and how to avoid damaging the coating.

Can a façade be washed with a pressure washer

The answer depends on the façade material and the condition of the coating. Hard, well-sealed surfaces (for example, brick or concrete façades with a good coating) usually withstand moderate pressure, while rendered façades with a weak or cracked coating can be damaged.

That's why, before cleaning the whole façade, it's always advisable to test a small, inconspicuous spot and start at the lowest possible pressure.

When façade cleaning is safe

  • Brick façades with joints in good condition
  • Concrete surfaces without cracks
  • Hard, smooth finished surfaces with a good coating

When to be especially careful or avoid it altogether

  • Rendered façades with a weak or cracked coating
  • Façades with visible damage or peeling
  • Window seals and vents — don't spray directly at them
  • Painted surfaces with a weak or old coating

How to reduce the risk of damage

Use the lowest pressure that gives an acceptable result, keep more distance from the surface, and avoid a sustained jet on one spot. When in doubt, it's better to clean only specific, visibly problematic spots rather than the whole façade at once.

If instead of a façade you need to clean a terrace or pavement, those surfaces are much more durable and can handle higher pressure.
